Flow over broad-crested weir with inflow by approach shaft – numerical model.

Abstract

In the case of flow over rectangular broad-crested weir, where the inflow is realized by approach shaft, occurs influence of water surface level by approach flow velocity. The paper describes numerical model of flow including weir, approach and outlet shaft. Simulations of flow were created by 2D and 3D model with using three methods of turbulent modelling. In paper is evaluated water surface level for each model setup and then is compared with measured values.In the case of flow over rectangular broad-crested weir, where the inflow is realized by approach shaft, occurs influence of water surface level by approach flow velocity.
